Banter sessions are given weekly on Wednesdays at noon via Zoom. They present a friendly, cooperative forum that aims to provide helpful tips and suggestions, with plenty of lively discussion! Nominally lasting for 60 minutes (with over-runs quite common), the format is:
Introduction and Catchup - about 10 minutes whilst awaiting the latecomers
Presentation on the topic of the day - 15 - 25 minutes
Q & A session
Sessions are recorded, and the video, presentation, chat and leads are all made available via this site.
Sessions are nominally targeted at parish and town councils, and community groups, to help them understand and contribute to local actions aiming to reach Net Zero. However, all are very welcome, whether as individuals or as representatives of groups - and hopefully as presenters at future sessions (please see table below for availability of future sessions).
The table below lists banter sessions past and future, in chronological order. Clicking on the Title of any completed session will take you to full details of that session, including links to the video, and to any presentation that goes with it.
Please note that .pdf files are often used for presentations, to save space. Should you wish for the original presentation in full, please email hello@greatcollaboration
